 Happy New Year Everyone!!
This is my Arabian mare Passionate Kisses and her yearling filly Amadorrable. Taken on a day we were iced in after receiving about 2 inches of sleet. You kind of just have to hang out with the horses and hope for a cool pose. :)

Great composition and I guess the underexposure and colour cast were intentional, because they work really well :)

I like the "pose" with one horse watching over the other.

It seems a bit underexposed...

A splendidly composed image. The square crop works really well too. Shot appears slightly flat on my CRT screen but looks good on my LCD (no point reduction) just thought I'd mention it.

Very appealing but feels as though it has a colour cast

Well executed photos but the subject is probably not as interesting to me as it is to you.

Nice animal portrait. I detect a little magenta in their coats.

nice composition for sure, but the light is really flat...some editing in photoshop would have put this in ribbon contention in my view...6

what a magnificent animal the horse is and I find hard to capture but these are beautiful ..although could have been a bit brighter

Seems a little dark, bump up the brightness perhaps?

A little bit underexposed and lacking contrast. It would also be nice to have a bit more light in the eyes.

What a perfect pose and perspective - lovely shot! This needs a tweak in levels to really bring it out - not sure what you use for processing but you need to add more at the highlight end of things - as presented here it's a bit dark and gray and it has lovely potential.

I'm not usually a fan of photos of horses, but the way their heads are positioned make this interesting for me.
